Yukon Delta Wildlife Refuge

Today I went to the visitor's center at the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge.  The refuge is 19 million acres, or about 6 times the size of Connecticut (~3.5 million acres).

The visitor's center was really nice.  Here are some pictures that I took:


It means something like "Thank you for coming" in Yup'ik.  Quyana means "thank you".

stuffed stuff and salmons


cross-section of the soil.   On the side it says "Wet soil", "Peat", "Leach layers" and then the gray layer on the bottom is permafrost. 

Topographical map of the area.  It's pretty flat.

There's Bethel!  On the Kuskokwim.
